Through analyzing Zhu Xuanxian’s works, it is easy to find: when he was making the woodcuts, political caricatures, illustrations and comic strips more under the western art system, the effect in reflecting the social reality and times was obvious and direct; while when he was making the Chinese painting works under the traditional Chinese painting system, although there were also obvious traces of social reality and times, the content and methods on the pictures are far less direct. This phenomenon is actually due to the differences between western and Chinese cultural systems and their totally different ways of expression and different language circumstances duly reflected from Zhu Xuanxian’s works.
